Sadly another of music’s legends has passed. Think Weather Report, Joni Mitchel, Steely Dan. Brilliant!

Very sad indeed. I love his so personal way of playing the sax. I have many of lps with him, be it Weather Report , Joni Mitchell or Herbie Hancock.
He is with Miles Davis the most influential player and composer in jazz history. A giant!

Oh no. I loved his work with Joni Mitchell.
Guess I’ll take a listen to ‘Burn’ by Norah Jones tonight featuring Wayne Shorter tonight.

One of the least good things of growing old is seeing these giants fall away.

I wasn’t previously aware of it but apparently he had been unwell for some time. Last time I saw him must have been his last UK/Barbican appearance, back in 2015-ish I think.

I’ve noticed an RIP thread started I wonder if Richard could perhaps move these posts from number 5999 onwards to that thread please.

R.I.P One of the music world’s true Innovators whose music will live as long as there are music lovers to hear it.
Though of course he is most famous as a leader for Blue Note and as a member of Miles’ group I particularly enjoy his playing together with Lee Morgan on those early Vee Jay recordings.

Night Dreamer will be played, (again), tonight. May he walk in peace.
